Procedure

5-Benzyloxy-6-methoxyindole (253 mg, 11.0 mmol) was hydrogenated at 1 atmosphere pressure in methanol (10 ml) with 10% palladium on carbon (50 mg) for 2 hours at 25° C. The catalyst was filtered off and the filtrate evaporated to give 5-hydroxy-6-methoxylindole (141 mg, 87%).

Workup

  1. filtrationThe catalyst was filtered off
  2. customthe filtrate evaporated
